After it was passed by the Commons, the Bill bounced back to the House of Lords for final consideration. I've only skimmed the transcript of the debate so far, but as far as I can tell there were no substantive changes to Section 3, covering age verification for online porn.

That's it, folks. Age verification is coming. There's likely to be a year's or so leeway to allow websites to comply before enforcement begins, during which time the BBFC will publish their promised guidance on how they're going to go about regulating the internet, and perhaps we'll even find out who the "enforcement" regulator is going to be, assuming that doesn't end up being lumped in with the BBFC's other duties as well.

frustration that ISP blocking is going to be used to penalise non-compliant websites - another nail in the coffin of UK net neutrality

concern for the site owners who will be affected by this, and particularly the future of the UK alternative porn scene

feeling like I want to sleep for a thousand years

being well aware that it's not over, and there is ongoing work to do around applying pressure on the BBFC to come up with reasonable guidance, create resources helping site owners comply with the new law, and other initiatives to mitigate the harms of this badly-drafted, regressive piece of legislation.

But right now, I think I'm going to take a badly needed day off.

Enjoy your bank holiday weekend, folks. Politics will still be here next week.
